Hello there! This is my first post here and I just wanted to know if buying a type 1 to type 2 (mennekes) charger is really worth. Right now I have the original charger but I'm considering buying a 16A type 1 to type 2 (mennekes). What do you guys think, should I stick to the original charger? Will my I-Miev charge faster in public chargers? I've searched elsewhere but since I'm no expert in electricity and electric vehicles I don't really understand the difference between Ampheres and watts and so. Then I was wondering if some of you already own one of those cables or have more knowledge than me (which is not hard) and could tell me if it's worth. Thanks in advance!

I live in Spain and I have a 2013 I-Miev and the thing is that here there is no public cables, only plugs and in some sites they have only the mennekes plug. In this image https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sfOMt8PoTNtgstHcfbOvypLxgEVNcJLX/view?usp=sharing Is where I usually charge it and it says that the mennekes has 22kw power and the schuko 2,3kw. Since the max charge rate of the mitsubishi is 3,3kw, would it mean that my I-Miev would charge at his max if I charge it with a type 2 cable? Thank you for your answers!

PD: Checking the first post I made I realized I wanted to really say "cable" instead of "charger" sorry english is not my mother language

I can see why you're confused- even a good amateur electrician would find the mennekes Type 2 connection confusing.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_2_connectorI believe the bottom line is that yes, if you get a charging cable with the Mennekes connector, you will get the maximum 3.3 kW AC charging rate, though often more like 3.0 kW in actual use. CHAdeMO is the only way to get more than 3.3 kW. Our cars will often accept a full 50 kW from CHAdeMO longer than a LEAF because of our superior battery cooling system.

Glad to hear the new LEAF will sustain high current DCFC better than the old, but I’m not confident in their battery thermal management yet, and therefore service life. The BOLT tapers off pretty quickly on DCFC, making it much slower overall than a TESLA on a long road trip.
